Although Dr. Meyer has succeeded in
making the ascent Of Kibo the highest
peak on the Kiima Njiro range, there
is no occasion for any noted Alpine
climber TO sit down and weep because
there arc no other mountains to conquer.

A Deer Conaners q Bear.

That peacefully disposed young bear
which Thomas Strong presented to the
city is kept chained in the deer paddock
at the city park. The other day it
broke its chain and started in to have a
vcnison dinner. It ran after the deer
till the young buck turned on it and
combed its fur with his horns and
kicked it on the suout and made the
blood run, and finally the bear initiated
Zaccheu and climbed tree, while the
Luck stood guard at the bottom with
fire in his eyes and frothing at the mouth
with rage. The brief association of
that bear with the colony at Metlakahtla
it seems did not eradicate all the savage
nature Of tho brute But it win prob
ably wait till it is bigger before it tries
to eat that buck again r. Portland Ore

family responded Dickson. "Well, Pm
off. Good byew
And he rose to his feet, and walked
off as bris1ly as he could. He scorned
to look back. If the federal was mean
enough to break his word and fire, it was
all right But his heart bumped against
his ribs until he had placed 100 yards
between him and the tree.
When the blue jackets swarmed into
the village that afternoon the score or
two of male inhabitants saw that re-
sistance was useless against such force.
''The captain sent me to guard your
property" said soldier, as he paused
in front of Dickson's door.
81 am obliged to him, - replied Dick
son, "but don't see why"
The man went on duty, and the little
family passed the night undisturbed,
and with the feeling that they were Sc
curely protected,
"The captain requests you to come to
his headquarters !"
This message made Dickson a little
nervous when it was delivered to him
the next morning. His wife could not
conceal her alarm.
"There is nothing wrong, " the messen-
ger assured her. 1.-The captain merely
desires to see your husband a moment"
There was nothing to do but to go.
Dickson quoted his wife, and proceeded
to the dwelling indicated to him as the
captains headquarters.
"Glad to see you, Mr.. Dickson" the
captain remarked with peculiar smile,
'My wife wishes to thank you for your
courteous and sensible conduct yester-
day."
''Your wife" exclaimed the farmer.
And then he saw what had escaped his
notice, that there was lady in the
room A very charming little lady,
Dickson thought. She looked fresh and
bright in her simple travelling dress, and
her curly hair, cut short like boys,
gave her roguish look. The lady's
face was strangely familiar and when
the astonished Confederate gazed into
her eyes he recognized her.
'You were the soldier in the treew
he cried.
"The same" admitted the captains
wife with laugh.
"You see" exclaimed the captain,
''my wife would come down to see me
in camp, and she would wear a soldiers
uniform. She is headstrong little
thing, and had to yield but after her
adventure of yesterday have persuaded
her to return home. War is a bad
thing, my friend, if the ladies are to go
soldering"
BY this time Dickson felt perfectly at
home His hosts were in such a jolly,
good humor that it was contagious and
the visitor spent a delightful half hour.
The Federals did not hold Blue Rock
long They moved off with the main
body of the army but before they left
the captains adventurous wife had been
shipped home by her husband.
"Quecr things happen in war times"
was Dickson's comment on the affair
when he spoke of it afterward to his
friends, "and tell you it is a wonder
that the captains wife didn't capture me
and march me of. She is a daisy, if
there ever was onem-T Atlanta Consti-
tuition.

The Flavor of Cigars.

Smokers cannot understand why cigars Of
tho same brand and selling at $50 or $40 per
/ 900 have different favors, and do not all
seem to be equally good. III these cigars
are made from the same quality of Havana
tobacco, paid for Mt exactly the same price

flavors is brought about by the sweating and
other processes through which the different
factories put their stocks One factory has
its way of treating the tobacco and another
factory has another way, SO that the cigars
coming from the two factories viii differ in
ffnors, though the tobacco is exactly tho
same The skill of cigarnlaker, too, has a
great deal TO do with it. You can give the

The Ladies' Society,"" Brayton, Tenn,
some time ago sent to Home and Farm
directions for washing clothes according to
the method they were using. It was at
once published in these columns, and it
lifted an almost intolerable burden from o
hundred households. It is no figure of
speech to say we have received hundreds
of letters from tired women all over the
land expressing their gratitude to the
Ladies' Society for that communication.
But it is something more than rest that is
brought by these simple directions for
washing; it is cleanliness as we'll, and that
cleanliness, which We are told, is next to
godliness, must begin with clean homes

THE D1N1NG-RooM.
The Natter of Food.


A French physician, regardless of the
most cherished Scotch traditions, pro-
nounces oatmeal unfit for human beings
to eat. So far from being wholesome it is,
he says. the most indigestible of food and
a dyspepsia breeder, and, rs proof of his
statement, declares that the Scotch are the
most dyspeptic race of people on earth.
Those persons who have concealed dis
taste for this universal breakfast dish,
either through timid dislike Of running
counter to popular opinion or from wish
to avoid the inevitable flood Of argum ent
sure to overwhelm the objector-
pronunciamento with delight. With the
new-found courage of their convictions
they will point to Carlyle, who lived for
eighty years mainly on diet of oatmeal
mush, il one may judge by the "Lives and
Letters" of himself and "Jane," but whose
life was one long drawn out misery from o
disordered stomach. Others who regulate
their fare according to fashion, and who
have eaten oatmeal dutifully and faith
fully, serene in the belief that it was
healthful because food reformers have said
SO, will be sadly unsettled. Individuals
not embraced in these two classes have not
able them to decide upon the merits Of any
article of food and will proceed to "take
their nourishment" as usual, undisturbed
by outside disputes. If they find oatmeal
palatable they will eat it; if, like Emerson,
they like pie for breakfast, they will boldly
partake Of it, unmoved by the horror Of
surrounding dyspeptics. If the glass of
milk or sticky graham "gem, recommended
as ajust what they need" is found to dis
turb the eternal economy, they will avoid
them, but if lobster salad at midnight is
discovered to be toothsome and sleep pro-
ducing, they will attack il without fear.
Nothing is SO true as the old saying that
one mans meat is anothers poison. In
the matter of food each one must be
! law unto himself in great measure.
The refusal to accept o dish
merely because others find it good, and the
exerciee of little independence and COM
mon sense in such directions would
many times save unpleasant consequences.
The main object Of the good cook and
purveyor for himself and others should be
to select the best materials for such food
as he does prepare, and to prepare it after
the best methods he can learn or devise.
The good housekeeper is continually on
the alert to improve upon the methods
long in vogue, for the science of cooking
is one which is never completely learned
